Shangguan Wanning sat in front of the dressing mirror, but refused to let the maids help her wash and dress.
This time, her father seemed determined to make her cut off all contact with the outside world. Except for a few personal maids, nannies and her mother, she was not allowed to see anyone, including Sun Jinyao.
She had no idea what Mu Jingrui was doing now; and there was no way for her to explain to him.
"Miss, please eat something." Lu Tong looked at Shangguan Wanning, whose face was pale, and choked with sobs as she persuaded her.
Shangguan Wanning had no expression on her face and asked in a low voice, "Has Xiao Zhenting been here in the past few days?"
"I heard from the housekeeper that he did come and talked with the master in the study for a while, but he didn't seem very happy and left after about half an hour."
Shangguan Wanning secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that her father did not accept Xiao Zhenting's threat to marry her off.
"My lady, the Crown Prince's concubine is here and is talking to the Madam in the front hall. Madam, please come over."
Shangguan Wanning shuddered when she heard this and immediately asked Lutong to comb her hair.
She almost trotted to the front hall, and the moment she saw Mu Jingyan, her eyes were filled with tears.
"Ning'er, the concubine heard that you were not feeling well, so she brought you some supplements. You two can chat, I still have some things to take care of."
Madam Shangguan felt sorry for her daughters. She also knew that Mu Jingyan's arrival must have brought news about Mu Jingrui, so she took the initiative to keep them to talk.
As soon as she turned around, Shangguan Wanning came over and asked anxiously, "Xiaoyan, how is Jingrui?"
Mu Jingyan restrained the smile he had just shown when talking to Madam Shangguan, gently put down the cup in his hand, and raised the corners of his mouth in a meaningful smile.
"Miss Shangguan, do you want me to say he's fine, or...he's dying?"
Shangguan Wanning's heart skipped a beat, and waves of sadness spread through her heart.
"You doubt me too?"
This news made Shangguan Wanning very sad, because Mu Jingyan's attitude was very likely to represent Mu Jingrui's attitude.
"Miss Shangguan, let's not waste time and speak frankly. What kind of poison did you give my brother?" Mu Jingyan lost even his last bit of tenderness and asked sternly, "Hand over the antidote. If anything happens to my brother, I will make your whole Prime Minister's Mansion a mess."
Mu Jingrui was indeed poisoned. It seems that Xiao Zhenting was not exaggerating.
"I didn't poison Jing Rui, it was Xiao Zhenting who did it..."
"Whether he did it or you did it, what difference does it make?"
Mu Jingyan looked at Shangguan Wanning coldly. "My brother and I were so blind that we trusted you. In fact, you gave up on my brother once when our Mu family was in trouble. He was too naive and still loved you deeply."
"Xiao Yan, how can you say that? Your brother and I have been through life and death together. Doesn't he understand how I feel about him? If I don't have feelings for him, why would I stay by his side all the time?"
"Then only you know." Mu Jingyan didn't buy it at all. "So many people in the capital know that you like the Second Prince, why are you suddenly willing to follow my brother? Now it seems that you are worried that my brother's power will grow day by day, and after forming an alliance with the Crown Prince, it will threaten the Second Prince's position..."
Shangguan Wanning closed her eyes in pain and helplessness.
Mu Jingyan's groundless speculation made her feel heartbroken.
"I don't want to explain. I just want to know, how is your brother now?"
Shangguan Wanning's attitude made Mu Jingyan even more angry. Her eyes flashed, and she came in front of Shangguan Wanning and grabbed her neck.
"If you don't hand over the antidote, I will kill you now."
Shangguan Wanning was strangled by Mu Jingyan, and the feeling of suffocation made her struggle subconsciously.
The more Mu Jingyan thought about it, the angrier she became. Suddenly, she felt a gust of wind coming at her. She had no choice but to let go of Shangguan Wanning and took a few steps back.
"Although you are the prince's concubine, if you come to the prime minister's residence to kill people, the prince can't protect you."
Sun Jinyao stood in front of Shangguan Wanning and looked at Mu Jingyan with cold eyes.
"roll."
Just from the palm strike just now, Mu Jingyan knew that he was no match for Sun Jinyao. Moreover, this place was indeed the territory of the Shangguan family.
"There are so many men protecting you." Mu Jingyan looked at Shangguan Wanning with disgust, then walked away.
"How is it? Are you okay?"
Although they were both in the Prime Minister's Residence, Sun Jinyao hadn't seen Shangguan Wanning for several days. However, in just a few days, she had lost so much weight.
"Brother Yao, can you do me another favor?"
Sun Jinyao frowned slightly. Even if Shangguan Wanning didn't say anything, he knew what it was.
"I'll convince the old man to go to the Mu Mansion and take a look."
"Thanks."
Shangguan Wanning was a little confused and returned to her room alone.
Lu Xiangzi grumbled that she was unwilling, but she still took Sun Jinyao to the Mu Mansion, and kept lecturing Sun Jinyao along the way.
"I don't know what's in your head, you silly boy. You don't have any friendship with Mu Jingrui, so why bother saving him? What's more, he's your love rival."
Sun Jinyao froze and looked at Lu Xiangzi with a warning look.
Lu Xiangzi was not afraid at all. His eyes glared at him even more fiercely than Sun Jinyao's.
"What? Did I say something wrong? Don't think I can't see that you just like Ning'er."
Sun Jinyao found that he could not do anything to Lu Xiangzi, so he simply ignored her and turned his head away.
The two of them came to the Mu Mansion together. Mu Jingyan was not there, so they met Mu Jingrui smoothly.
"Ning'er, let the old man detoxify you." Sun Jinyao said expressionlessly.
"If you don't trust us, we'll leave right away."
Lu Xiangzi doesn't want to suffer any humiliation.
"Thank you, senior." Mu Jingrui led Lu Xiangzi and Sun Jinyao into the room.
After Lu Xiangzi felt Mu Jingrui's pulse, he said calmly, "It's a little trick. It's very easy."
As he spoke, he ordered the maid to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and quickly wrote down the prescription.
"Follow the prescription and take the medicine. In three days, I guarantee you will be full of energy and back to normal."
"Thank you, senior." Mu Jingrui took the prescription and handed it to the maid, "Ask the housekeeper to get the medicine."
"Wait." Mu Jingyan hurried in and took the prescription nervously. "Brother, they are all Shangguan Wanning's people. Do you still trust them?"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, I've been here. I can explain it to the girl."
Lu Xiangzi stood up and stretched. "Boy, let's go."
Mu Jingyan watched the two men leave, gritting his teeth in hatred.
Mu Jingrui took the prescription back and said, "I believe it."
